- Repairs from £95

Bath repair in Carlby without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Carlby
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Carlby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Repairing versus replacing in Carlby
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Carlby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
